I can't wait till the competition jumps on the bandwagon and copies this awesome design.
Apple's worst design... Ever

#42Is it really so bad? I find the banner at the top to be much too large and ...well...it really is bad in general. But overall the page seems fine. It's a plain white background with a grid of movie posters organized by month. No frills. Can someone comment, for the design challenged, what exactly makes this so terrible? (aside from the banner)
Chrome has a large color gradient. Firefox has a white background.

#44http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fall/ is a similarly bad design with recent films - this isn't an unfinished, abandoned, or years-old product. I'm not sure where this is used - the Google link: operator doesn't yield any enlightening results. I know old versions of QuickTime had a "movie trailers" feature but it doesn't appear to exist anymore, and iTunes points somewhere else for its movie trailers.
What is bad about that? I think it looks quite good and it is functional.

#45It's an old page — this was used for Summer 2011. It may be inheriting some base styles that are now changed for a more current page. Are people now scouring through unused pages to drum up some shit?

#46Are they using the Tangerine Dreamscape, or whatever color Pantone declared the color of the year?

#47Given the collection of 2011 movies, the site probably used to look good in 2011. Maybe some CSS or templated HTML changed out from under it?
Did the banner magically change too when 2012 rolled around?

#48These are obviously uploaded in error. Look, multiple header images.

#49What's funny to me is, this looks like the AVERAGE degree of design quality you see in any given widget or feature in Windows 8. All over the place, there are places where you can barely read text in basic features because they chose to put light-colored text on a light-colored background, with both colors being rather ugly. All over the place, there are massive, five or ten-square-inch wastes of screen space for no reason.
I think I can forgive Apple for this one page that nobody will ever see. At least it's not their core OS.

#50Seriously, someone digs up a link to a remnant of an old page on the Apple site, and this ends up on top of HN as a critique of Apple design? Is this Reddit?
